Overview
A large land map with a broad central area. Scout the resource layout and attack routes in each generated match.
Terrain and layout
A large, mostly flat central island is surrounded by four smaller corner islands, with narrow water gaps and Stealth Kelp Forest. Players begin around the coast of the main landmass.
Resources and control
Deep Water and Shoreline Fish are plentiful, while the main island has limited berries but more hunt than the map description suggests. Each corner island contains two Relics.
Player considerations
Balance land control with a navy that can protect fishing and contest landings. Check the corner islands for Relics and possible hunt before treating them as empty outposts.
